[SOLVED] Major driver issues with all adapters I use

[wildjake4]

So I've been having some seriously annoying issues with what I can only assume to be drivers, and I'm completely stumped as to how I can fix it. So at the start on my old computer, I was using a TP-Link TL-WN822N which served me well (for the most part) until I started to get some issues where when restarting my computer, my wifi would disconnect, and then every time I tried to reconnect it would drop it. This process happened about 5-6 times before I was able to actually keep the connection. I'd done the research to try and find any information about the issue, but I never found anything.

Then I ended up upgrading my computer, so this time I thought it would fix it. To begin with, it did, but then not long after the same issue came along with some more. My wifi would randomly drop out all the time and wouldn't reconnect. When I'm playing games or logging into the computer, I'd sometimes get a BSOD that read the following:

"DPC_Watchdog_Violation"

So I'd had enough and decided that I'd get a new adapter. I ended up buying the ASUS USB-AC56. After getting this my download speed nearly tripled and everything was great. Then came MORE issues. Whenever I played games, I'd get major ping spikes every 8 seconds. This was a known issue with the adapter and there was a temporary fix that involved writing the following line in cmd prompt:

netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="Wi-Fi 2"

This fixed the issue and I was able to play with ease. Then came the worst part. I booted up my computer as usual and got the BSOD with the following error message:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

After getting this blue screen, when it rebooted, my wifi adapter wasn't working at all. No wi-fi connections showed up and so I thought it had something to do with it being disabled in the control panel or something like that, so after trying to enable it and troubleshoot it. The blue light, which is normally on all the time regardless of the connection turned off. At this point, I thought that I bricked my adapter or something like that. Then I decided that maybe it had something to do with the drivers, so I uninstalled the driver and rebooted, low and behold my adapter was up and running again. Now I get this same issue where the adapter bricks itself at any given time. Whether it be me playing a game with mates or logging into my computer, I'd always have to uninstall the driver and reboot.

I'm honestly tearing my hair out with these issues and I can't do anything to fix it. Any help would honestly be so appreciated. Thank you for reading.

In cmd as admin type the following command amd see what it has to find.
"Sfc /scannow"
It will go through and find all the corrupted partions in windows and repair them

Okay so I just finished it and got this message:

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.
For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at
windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline
repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.

Would you like to see the log file or should everything be back in order?

Go ahead and post the repair file it may have fixed you issue but no way to say for certain until you try to use your system and if we can find what may have been causing it in the currupted files

Time to do a clean windows install and next time, create some backup points periodically.

With all my computers, I typically install 2 hard drives, or partition the main drive if it's big enough. I install windows and all my programs on the main partition/drive and save all my personal documents, pictures, and whatever needs to be saved onto the secondary drive/partition. If my windows ever develops an issue, I can revert back to an old save point, or just reinstall windows on the main drive.

I'm still getting this issue after sfc /scannow and I'm unsure where to find the repair logs, also I really don't want to have a fresh install of windows, so if there's anything I can do to get around that, I'd love to know.

DPC Watchdog Violation refers to the stop code: DPC_Watchdog_Violation, which is a blue screen error that can appear on the Windows operating system. It's usually occurred due to some specific reasons, like unsupported SSD firmware, old SSD driver version, hardware incompatibility issues, or system files are corrupted.
It's also a common with the battle eye anti cheat thats been causing conflict between the system and remote game sever basically
